WI AMVETS Auxiliary Membership

Become an AMVETS Auxiliary Member

We welcome you to join us as a member of AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary

Membership in AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary is open to the mothers, wives, widows, grandmothers, sisters, daughters and granddaughters of AMVETS and female veterans who are currently serving or who have honorably served in the Armed Forces of the United States, including the National Guard and Reserve components, anytime after September 15, 1940.

For more than 50 years AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary has served veterans and their communities through programs such as John Tracy Clinic (for hearing, impaired and deaf children ages 18 months to 5 years); PAWS With a Cause (who trains Assistance Dogs for people with disabilities); Scholarships; St. Jude's Hospital for Children, Veterans Affairs Volunteer Services programs (VAVS) and Freedom's Foundation just to mention a few.

A network of AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary members across the country provides a teamwork of support for local volunteers. Volunteering is the heart of AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary. Volunteer services are recognized through an extensive awards program both on the department and national level.

It is up to us to keep a watchful eye on all Capitol Hill legislation and aggressively pursue every congressional bill that is likely to affect veterans - to ensure there is no erosion of their entitlements. Veteran's health care, POW/MIA accountability, services for homeless veterans, national defense and foreign relations are all issues of importance to AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary and it's parent organization AMVETS.

We would like to invite you to become part of our network of volunteers dedicated to serving our Nation's veterans and the local communities in which they and you reside.
